神：【靈魂是「神藉以表達和體驗神」的工具】
尼爾：好吧。現在我們 已偏離所有歷史所說的 了，要回到我們原先所談到的問題。你可以把這問題再說清楚嗎？
神：其實，我們並沒有偏離歷史。我們是在讓每樣東西回歸本貌。你的靈魂明白，這其實非常簡單。你靈魂的目的——它進入肉體的原因——是要去成為和表達你真正是誰(to be and express Who You Really Are)。靈魂渴望這樣做；渴望認識它自己，體驗它自己。
這種認識的渴望，正是生命尋求成為的。這是神，選擇要表達的。你們歷史上（所敘述）的神，並不是神真正所是的（本質、型態與模樣）。這是重點。你的靈魂是我藉以表達和體驗我自己的工具(Your soul is the tool through which I express and experience Myself.)。
摘自《與神對話 III》第2章
Neale: Okay, now we're getting away from all the history, and back into something You've touched on before in this dialogue. Could You go over this again?
Well, we're not actually getting away from the history. We're tying everything in together. You see, it's really quite simple. The purpose of your soul—its rea son for coming to the body—is to be and express Who You Really Are. The soul yearns to do this; yearns to know itself and its own experience.
This yearning to know is life seeking to be. This is God, choosing to express. The God of your histories is not the God who really is. That is the point. Your soul is the tool through which I express and experience Myself.
